Santosh
Srinivas'
latest
directorial
venture
Rabhasa
starring
Junior
NTR,
Samantha
and
Pranitha
in
the
leads,

to
an
overwhelming
response
on
Ganesh

but
has
failed
to
maintain
the
same
on
the
following
days.
The
business
of
the
film
on
the
weekdays
has
been
worse
than
the
young
tiger's
previous
outing
Ramayya
Vasthavayya,
which
has
hit
the
theatres
on
October
10,
2013.
The
promos
of
Rabhasa
had
garnered
lot
of
curiosity
for
the
film
before
its
release.
This
helped
the
movie
to
register
a
huge
amount
of
advance
ticket
bookings
for
the
first
day.
Released
in
1200
screens
across
the

29,
the
movie

an
earth-shattering
response
on
Friday.
The
film
raked
in
Rs
8.85
crores
nett
at
the
AP
and
Telangana
Box
Office
on
the
first
day.
It
became
the
biggest
opener
of
the
year.
Rabhasa
garnered
mixed
reviews
from
critics
and
viewers.
The
word
of
mouth
was
expected
to
take
its
business
upwards
on
Saturday
and
Sunday,
but
its
business
dropped
considerably
over
the
weekend.
The
movie
witnessed
further
dip
in
its
collection
on
Monday
and
it
continued
to
show
fall
on
the
following
days.
Its
collection
on
the
weekdays
is
poorer
than
that
of
Ramayya
Vasthavayya.
Produced
Bellamkonda
Suresh
and
Ganesh
Babu,
Rabhasa
has
collected
Rs
21.60
crores
nett
at
the
AP
and
Telangana
Box
Office
Box
Office
in
the
first
week.

breakup
is
Rs
8.85

on

film
has
raked
another
Rs
7
crores
from
its
screening
in
the
USA,

Nandu,
Mahaharashtra
and
other
parts
of
North
India.
Rabhasa
has
collected
approximately
Rs
28.60
crores
at
the
worldwide
Box
Office
in
the
first
week.
Made
with
a
whopping
budget
of
Rs
40
crore,
the
movie
has
recovered
more
than
70%
of
its
production
cost
from
its
theatrical
run
for
seven
days.
With
no
big
releases
this
Friday,
the
film
is
expected
to
do
well
at
the

in
its
second
week
too.
